MHD Control of Oblique Detonation Waves

Based on the Euler equation, the hybrid Roe/HLL scheme is employed to simulate the oblique detonation waves (ODWs). Furthermore, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) control of both stable and unstable ODWs is investigated. It is shown that the stable ODW wave front can be controlled to the desired position under different inflow Mach numbers. However, for an unstable ODW, it is difficult for the MHD control to return the ODW front, but the unstable ODW turns to be stable with the Lorentz force applied in proper direction.
